Mistakes made during planning ;(

We began with some changes when filming the garage scene . It was tough finding a map of Fort Lauderdale . So we decided to just print out a large picture of shania, kerin and I. Then we are going to add notes to mark addresses instead of making a map . Not only that was that the only difference but the scene of the garage it didn't have as much tools as we needed . The scene also had to change from a shelf to on top of the washer .When planning the phone call we noticed that some things in the script wasn't things we would normally say . Such as when Shania answers the phone I said "Hey , wassup are you ready?" instead of "hey , what you doing ?".  Also instead of having a conversation about Shania not being able to attend we skipped right to Kerin saying "15 minutes , Hurry up". We also didn't introduce the fact of us being hungry . We also didn’t film the zoomed in shot of Shania walking out of the door . Instead music just began planning and we started driving to Lester’s diner. During this time we also changed our diner from moonlight to Lester’s . We called Lester’s just to make sure it was ok and they explained we just couldn’t film anyone. During the drive we didn’t film Damian car following us which we will have to film in our re-shoot. During the drive we also forgot to take the shot of the radio and us turning it up . As we arrived to Lester’s chad began to shake as we started to walk into Lester’s . Another issue we ran into was the hostess wasn’t ok with being filmed . So we decided not to film as the hostess sat us . However we asked our waitress was it ok if we filmed . During our reshoot we also have to take a video of the stalker checking his watch . Which also made us realize we forgot the glove that was on the storyboard . We decided to just not incorporate the prop of the glove . During this scene we also changed some of the script . When looking in the trunk i was shocking through the trunk and saying how i couldn’t find anything . We also made the mistake of filming some videos the wrong way . Instead of filming Horizontal  dome was accidentally filmed vertical . An example of that video is in the picture below .

Filming at Lester's for snatched !!

So we continued filming at Lester’s. We had to call in advance to make sure filming there was ok . They explained that as long as we don’t film patriots it should be fine . As we walked in Lester’s and got our table we noticed that we didn’t film our walking in shot . We had to leave Lester’s and walk back in . As we walked in Chad filmed us walking in to our table . Even tho we explained to our waitress we’ll be back they had cleaned our table . We ended up having to re order our drinks . We then went and sat down while chad and Damian went outside . To film the over the shoulder shot of him staring at us from the window. During this Shot our waitress was giving us our food . So we asked the waitress for her to permission to be filmed . As they were filming we were ordering our food . Then they began to walk in when we had to film a couple more scenes . The next scene was an over shoulder of Damian in a further booth looking at us . A couple was in front of this shot and we asked for their permission as they were in the booth in front . Chad begin to film behind Damian as we were sitting in the booth . This was to show Damian starring at us as we were getting ready to eat . After this we ordered actual food and ate which we had chad record the waitress as she put down the food to show her eating . These shots were our easiest to take . As we continued to eat we finished and went outside to film . Chad began filming us as we went outside to us cranking the car . we filmed us trying to crank the car however it didn't work. So i went to the back to look for something to use to crank the car . We put a camera in the trunk while also taking the shot from the side of the car . This shot shows me looking for something in the trunk to then getting snatched by the kidnapper . 

Filming part 1 of snatched : THE DRIVE

Our beginning of the film is of someone in the garage . However we didn't get to film that part being that it was just easier for us to start filming from the driving part because everyone was already in the car . So we ended up starting with the drive  there were many different drives during our film . The first one being filmed is the drive from shanias' house to lesters diner . We meet my friend Damian at the gas station "Wawa" being that he was our star actor . We couldn't film much without him so we had to wait until he got there. During the film he was suppose to be the stalker. He follows us throughout the whole film. Our first actual scene that we filmed is when we got to shanias' house where she is walking out of the door . While she is walking out the door Chad is filming shania while me and kerin is in the car waiting on shania . In this shot you can see shania walking from out her house and Damians car behind us . Shania then gets in the car and we are about to be on our way to lesters diner . Originally we were suppose to eat at moonlight diner , however lesters were closer and it had a better diner feel. On our way to Lesters were a few diffent scences on our storyboard. One was us putting on our song before driving off which we got the ok from one of our friends to play their song. During this shot we are filming the stero as we turn it up . We are also dancing during the video to show us getting ready to have a good time . During  this shot chad was leaning in the back seat so during the scene we wouldn't be able to see him . So while i was driving he was taping the stereo and the shot of our eyes cutting to the rear view to see someone following us. During this shot you can see Damian behind us in his car . However you were not able to see his face because we didn't want to reveal our stalker.The drive was about 15 mins to lesters so we were able to film all of drive . Once we got there we let chad out in front so he could film as we park in front of lesters. He filmed us parking and Damian parking Close by to show that he was following us . This concluded our first set of filming for that night .

Planning Blog :Storyboard for snatched !!

Below are images of our story board. The story board contains the images of the scenes that we are going to do and shows what will be going on in the scene. This will help us tremendously. It will help us because it will be an easy tool to use when doing the film. We only will have to follow the story board directly as it is, which will help with the filming process. It will help in the filming process because we can just look at the story board to know what scenes that we are doing and to see if we forgot anything. This makes the story board a significant tool that aids us in making the film perfect. Also this makes us have more fun with the film because we know what we are filming and we would not stress on what we should do for the film. This helps us be able to make our film the exact way that we planned it. The story board is the most significant part of our planning process and it will help us make our film more perfect.

Planning Blog: Title design

This power-point will help us remember the design more easily. We put the design in a power-point format in order to obtain the information better and to make it organized. The reason we did this is so that we can keep looking back at the text in order to either remember how we are styling our title or to make sure that we styled it in the correct way. In order for that to be the case we put all the information on how we are doing the titles and the different aspects of the title as well.

Planning blog :Location,Sound , health participants

This week, we decided to organize our location, participants, health and schedule. We created this by using google slides. Planning ahead is very beneficial to our group. We can always refer back to the google slides if we ever forget about the original plan we had before. Come filming day, we hope that things can run smoothly. For starters, we decided to set our location. It was easy for us to decide on how to start a film. We each came up with great ideas to start the beginning of the film in the garage. We also, researched diners to film at for the film. As the planning continues, we cannot wait to start our project.

Planning Blog : Dialogue script

This week, we created our dialogue/sound script for our film. We used google slides in order to create the script. In the script, you will see that each slide is title with the scene number. The information on each slide describes what is being said during the scene and the sounds that are going on. For example, we included the dialogue between the actors in the scene along with the background noises. We created the script carefully so that it can be accurate for when it's time for us to film. Creating the script will be beneficial on filming day! We will already have the plan on what the actors need to say and what sounds are going to be made. Now that we have a plan on the audio being used for the film, it makes us more excited to start the project! Hopefully, we can film less than two weeks from now.

Planning Blog : shooting Script

For the script we created a power-point that entails all of the scenes without the words. It shows what is going to happen in every scene and also the camera movements and angles. This power-point will be almost exactly what we are doing for the actual film. We plan to follow the script we created 100%, but we have also planned for any deterrent that may interfere for what we planned. The power-point of the script also shows the editing techniques that we plan to use for the actual film. This script is the tool that we need to help make our film a success. It will help us make our story board and also help us come up with ideas for the dialogue that will be in the scenes. Not only will it help us with the dialogue, but it will help us further illustrate our scenes on paper for the story board that we are going to do. With this power-point at our disposal, it will make planning and filming the rest of this film uncomplicated and less stressful to do. With this being the case I believe that it will make the film making process more fun and exciting instead of just something that we have to do.
